April 16th, 2008 • 2:27 pmI Agree With Captain Ed
It doesn’t take alot of courage for a conservative blogger to say that he agrees with Captain Ed. That said, I love seeing Captain Ed pointing out something that dovetails with what I posted about the presidential race yesterday. Here’s what I wrote yesterday:
Going into this election cycle, I worried about Democrats picking off Ohio, Virginia and Colorado. I also figured that McCain would regain New Hampshire but lose Iowa. That would’ve been more than enough to get the Democratic candidate to 270. Because of McCain’s strength within the military, Virginia has effectively been taken off the map. I’m also feeling optimistic about Michigan and Pennsylvania because Obama’s elitism won’t play well with the blue collar Reagan Democrats.
I thought fairly certain that Colorado would stay in the Red column. Now Ed’s post confirms that belief:
Brent Seaborn, late of the Giuliani campaign and now back at his consulting gig, sends over some up-ballot numbers his firm, TargetPoint, took for a third-party effort out in the Colorado Senate race. Per their polling, McCain would defeat Hillary in Colorado 52-40 and beat Obama 51-39.
The electoral map is shaping up quite favorably for Sen. McCain. With almost 7 months left until Election Day, there’s alot that can still happen. That said, Sen. Obama faces some daunting structural hurdles to win this November.
